Elizbet Houlder: Daugher of a captain in the Army of Andor, she always fancied the idea of becoming the first female soldier for the Queen's Army. With the onset of the Aiel War, however, her father is frequently away, and now is gone. She as a habit has spent a great deal of time around with people, never liking being hidden away like so many other daughters seem to, yet was never a particularly friendly or open person. She considers her loyalties, her thoughts on politics, and her opinions of the state of the world very much her own, and does not care to share with strangers. Given her interest in swordplay and the like, she's stolen a sword from her father a while ago and 'practiced' with it.
